After the battle, Reiner took Nora and Martina to Morwen, one of the four towns that Lelith was responsible for attacking.
This is the most prosperous city on the border of Barnet. The city's defense facilities are still intact. The population is about 6,000, which is more than Melode and Cannon. The economy is also quite developed, making it very suitable as their temporary base.
The Barnett flag and the local lords' flags on the city walls were taken down and thrown to the ground.
The streets were deserted and the residents of the town had all taken refuge in their houses. They were all still confused, knowing only that the city they lived in had fallen.
The demihumans escorted the captives away from here and took them to the territory of the Aidan family for imprisonment.
A lord with a big red beard and a kind face took the initiative to greet Reiner after seeing him.
Reiner had an impression of him. His name was Gram Mac Campbell, Aidan's cousin and the lord of a city.
Nearly a quarter of the soldiers responsible for attacking the city came from him.
Grimm chattered in praise, "This battle was truly perfect. Under the nearly perfect command of Lady Laelis, our soldiers captured the town in less than half an hour, without losing a single soldier."
At this point, he glanced at the nobles being escorted away, a hint of pity flashing in his eyes: "They should have been our allies, but unfortunately they chose the wrong side."
Reiner nodded without saying anything else.
Martina, standing by, raised the corner of her mouth with a smug expression: "I never thought that one day I would be able to participate in escorting humans. This can be considered revenge."
Reiner tapped her head gently.
At this moment, Lalith's clone came running over, lowered her head towards Reiner, and made crazy hints.
She did really well today. Reiner grabbed the horns on her head and shook them hard.
Grimm, who was standing by, was a little surprised when he saw this scene.
Because in his eyes, Laelith is a stern, cold-blooded, and terrifying demon.
Such a demon actually showed a smile to humans that could be described as completely flattering.
"Until I select a suitable lord, you will be responsible for the management of the four cities, including Morwen. I'm sorry to trouble you."
Lailisi said with a smile: "It is my honor to serve the master."
Reiner pinched her cheek and said softly, "I'll leave this place to you for now. Nora and I will leave here first. I'll leave the rest to you."
"No problem, I promise to make the town prosperous."
After that, Reiner picked up Nora and Martina picked up Junice and flew into the sky.
The external threat has been temporarily eliminated.
It's time to clean up the internal threats.
Rhaenar arrived at Erain, a town east of Morwyn.
The lord here, Eugen Mai Shali, is ostensibly an ally of Aidan who rebelled against Barnet, but in reality he is a spy planted by the Barnet Hero King next to Aidan.
It's a pity that he has already been investigated by Laelis.
While Reiner was still in the sky, he had already seen Aidan standing by the city gate. He was followed by several guards and it seemed that they had been waiting for a long time.
During the combat meeting a few days ago, Reiner told the world that Eugen would betray the alliance.
At first Aidan didn't believe it, because Eugen was his childhood friend. Every winter they would go hunting together and then camp in the forest for a while.
Their contact has never been interrupted for more than thirty years.
